[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on who the family you are referring. Are they your parents? in-laws? your siblings? distance cousins? Normally I would focus on my kids interests and potential networking opportunities using my family connections. If they can help something there, great. If not, I would just listen and smile/move on.[/quote] DH's parents and one of my siblings are the biggest offenders. They don't understand this particular culture, which is why I say I think it's ignorance - and they don't see themselves are being rude. They honestly don't understand. [/quote] I have a hard time believing your sibling doesn't understand the "culture". Are you all foreigners? Regardless, your dh needs to be direct and ask them to make no comments at all that aren't supportive. Literally "If you have nothing nice to say....you are making us and our dc feel horrible and we won't be able to see you until you stop making these comments."[/quote]
